Football Star Cam Newton Involved In Bad Car Accident

The world of football collectively gasped this afternoon when news broke out that Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton got into a pretty serious car accident.

The 25-year-old was on his way to the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte to watch game footage, when his pickup truck collided with a sedan at an intersection earlier today. On impact, Cam’s truck flipped over several times before finally stopping on its side. According to reports, Cam was able to escape the wreck by lifting himself out through the back window that was shattered in the accident.

Though pictures from the scene looked grim with many wondering if this was the end of the superstar player’s career, the Panthers are saying Cam only suffered a lower back fracture and probably won’t need any surgery. “Only” because it definitely could’ve been a whole lot worse!
